Chapter 48

"You little brats are so unlucky, hehehe, you got eaten by me because you were with the fox boy."

"I deliberately held back a bit, only making the fox boy lose his fighting power. After catching you, I will eat you one by one in front of him, hehehe."

The hand demon attacked my wife Zenitsu and Tanjiro while mocking them.

This was the first time Nezuko saw a demon, and also the first time she felt the abomination of a demon. She forced herself to calm down and used her full strength to practice the breathing method.

"Breath of Flowers, Four Forms, Red Flower Clothes!!"

Nezuko's figure became somewhat erratic, dancing in the wind, and the Sun Blade in her hand seemed to have turned into soft silk.

All the attacks of the hand demon were dodged by Nezuko, and Nezuko held the Sun Blade that seemed to have turned into silk like a dancing spirit.

‘Hehehe, when this girl jumps up like that fox boy’The hand ghost had a playful smile on his face, and looked confidently at Nezuko who was rushing towards him.

When Nezuko rushed over, a strong momentum rose from Agatsuma Zenitsu's body, and golden light kept flashing and flowing around his body.

‘What's wrong with that yellow-haired boy? His moves look familiar. I feel like I've seen this lightning before somewhere.

Agatsuma Zenitsu's appearance attracted the hand ghost's attention and reminded it of something.

‘Yes, it's that guy. This yellow-haired boy uses the same swordsmanship as that guy!! The teasing look in the hand ghost's eyes towards his prey completely disappeared.

Agatsuma Zenitsu's thunder breath reminded the hand ghost of the swordsman who came to participate in the assessment last year, the swordsman who was incredibly strong.

Subconsciously, the hand ghost wanted to escape.

"Breathing of thunder, form one, a flash of thunder." Zenitsu Agatsuma's eyes shone brightly, and he used the only sword form he mastered with all his strength.

When Tanjiro woke up slowly in Kanao's arms under the tree, golden lightning illuminated the night sky, and the sound of thunder resounded through the forest.

Nezuko and Tanjiro only felt a dazzling golden light flash, and the hand ghost's head and the arm that was holding the head were neatly cut off.

After solving the hand ghost, Zenitsu Agatsuma fell to the ground, breathing slightly. He used too much force, and this ghost didn't seem to be as strong as he thought. The first cooperative battle between the few people was not very tacit, but the result was satisfactory. I believe that after this time, Tanjiro will no longer be easily dominated by anger.

Picking up the disaster-eliminating mask that had been broken into pieces, Tanjiro and the others went again. At the artesian spring that Ji Qingfeng mentioned.

After dealing with the hand demon, the other demons in Fujisaka Mountain no longer posed any threat to Tanjiro and his companions.

On the fourth day when Agatsuma Zenitsu and Tanjiro participated in the Demon Slayer Corps assessment, Ji Qingfeng finally received a mission from Ubuyashiki Yoya.

Ji Qingfeng, who had been at ease for a long time, started hunting demons again.

The targets of the Pillars' missions are never ordinary demons. Pillar-level swordsmen are only sent to places where the Lower Strings are suspected to have appeared or where the Demon Slayer Corps has suffered heavy losses.

Since Ji Qingfeng received the mission from Ubuyashiki Yoya half a month ago, he has been running around in various places where the Lower Strings are suspected to have appeared, but it is not so easy to encounter the Lower Strings.

Killing those demons who have not even awakened their blood demon arts will not help Ji Qingfeng break through his own limits.

"I don't know if I can attract Kokushibo again."

If you want to break through the limit, you need external pressure to stimulate yourself. At present, among the upper ranks, perhaps only Kokushibo can bring enough pressure to Ji Qingfeng. Akaza has been pursuing the supreme realm all his life, that is, the transparent world, but he has never been able to do it. If Ji Qingfeng meets Akaza now, the battle will be easy and enjoyable, if not crushing.

As for Douma, it is impossible to awaken the transparent world without any human feelings and obsessions, and he will not be able to beat Ji Qingfeng. In this world, only Kokushibo and the demon king, Muzan Kibutsuji, can make Ji Qingfeng feel enough pressure to surpass himself and break through the limit.

"Lord Myojuku, please go to the town in the north, where a lower moon is suspected to have appeared."

"Yes~ Yes~"

He stretched out his index finger to scratch the head of the crow, took out a piece of bacon and handed it to the crow's mouth.

He didn't know how many times he had heard the words that the lower-rank ghosts were suspected to have appeared.

Ji Qingfeng was completely uninterested. To him, the lower-rank ghosts were no different from ordinary ghosts, and they were all a matter of a knife.

Sitting on a stone by the roadside, waiting for the crow to finish eating the bacon, Ji Qingfeng stood up and patted the dust off his butt.

"North?"

The lazy aura on Ji Qingfeng's body faded away, and what followed was a chilling aura of destruction and destruction.

When facing ghosts, the hatred in his heart would unconsciously emerge, and his mentality would also change. He always wanted to torture those ghosts, always wanted to see the ghosts' painful expressions, and wanted to see the ghosts melt in the sun.

After the crow squinted his eyes in enjoyment after eating the bacon, he flew into the air and began to lead the way.

The sun at noon gradually set, and at dusk Ji Qingfeng came to a large town.

"After traveling for half a day, let's go eat a bowl of noodles first."Because the sun hasn't set yet, the ghosts can't come out now, so Ji Qingfeng wants to take advantage of this time to fill his stomach.

He has always disliked Japanese food. After coming here, he cooks for himself most of the time. If he wants to eat out, he only eats noodles.

"Dear customer, the sun has set and it's time for us to close."

"Well, sorry to bother you then."

After knocking on the doors of several noodle shops, all of them said the same thing. Ji Qingfeng felt very helpless about this. It seemed that he could only buy some cakes to make do with it.

He didn't like sweets very much.

"Wait, customer. The owner of the store looked at the setting sun outside, then looked at Ji Qingfeng who was about to leave. After hesitating for a while, he finally called him.

"As the third generation owner of Daisen Ramen, I will never let customers leave my shop hungry."

""Guest, please come in. It's not long before sunset. It's dangerous to stay outside at night. If you don't mind, you can stay here tonight."

Ji Qingfeng felt a little embarrassed when he heard this. This inexplicable persistence was really...It's a bit childish.

The owner solemnly dragged Ji Qingfeng into his store, and after calling his daughter who was cleaning up to receive the guests, he walked behind the bar and started making ramen.

The owner's daughter was quite cute, and timidly brought Ji Qingfeng a glass of sake.

"This is a gift, please enjoy it."
